Please don't misunderstand, I'm not complaining. It is more of an explaination as to why I haven't got further with this quilt this week. Or on anything else. I seem to have a constant mess as I move from one project to the other without much to show for any of them.

Until today, for this project at least.

I have pieced some more arcs. Yesterday I bought the background colour, a light grey, which has meant I could start pieceing the arcs to the melons and then to the background centres.

I was a little nervous about this step, I'm often not patient enough to do a lot of unpicking so I was really pleased when the first melon segment turned out perfectly.

So pleased I forgot to take a picture.

An hour later, after reading and following the directions very carefully, I had this.

I'm so pleased, that even with all the joins most sections matched up like this.

About Me

I've been making, creating and sewing things forever. I love the feeling of putting bits and pieces together and seeing it turn into something unique, beautiful and functional.
I'll usually give any crafty method a try once but I love sewing more traditional items with a funky, modern twist the best.
